Mu Lan answered politely, "Yes, it is . Aside from France, I only visited Germany . So I was very excited about coming here . "
Mu Liang said nothing as he remembered her nervous expression in the whole journey .
Qi Ying said, "I only visited once when I was five years old . I don't remember much . "
Mu Ling smiled and replied, "Then you won't be bored while having a trip with me in the city, will you? I promise that I'm not that boring . You might have better time with me than you boyfriends . "
Mu Lan and Qi Ying both smiled .
"Of course not . We will be very happy to have you with us . " Mu Lan answered .
Mu Ling was satisfied with her reply . Her expression relaxed as she exclaimed, "Excellent!" She glanced at the Head Butler who was standing in the corner and ordered, "Prepare my car . We will head out an hour after we finish breakfast . "
"Darling, you look so happy . I bet this old man never took you out like I did, right?" Mu Feng eyed sheepishly at Mu Cheng .
Mu Cheng slightly coughed to hide his embarrassment . Mu Feng was right on the spot .
To cover up the truth, Mu Cheng got angry at his second grandchild . "Rascal! You have lots of work to do . Go to my study room after you finish eating!"
"Look darling, he is scolding me for no reson!" Mu Feng didn't let go of the chance .
"Feng, you have grown up now . Why are you acting like a child?" Mu Jin couldn't take it anymore and sighed in helplessness .
Mu Feng replied, "I only wanted justice, nothing more . Beside, what I said was true . Darling only had fun time with me in the past and no one else . "
"Dear, don't scold him all the time . They came home to have fun . Don't make them work . " Mu Ling requested .
Mu Cheng sighed . "The company will be demolished by your pampering . Don't spoil him too much . He is now a grown man who is soon going to marry and have children . What will he teach his children?"
While others were chatting, Mu Lan poked Mu Liang and whispered, "What will you do after breakfast?"
Mu Liang whispered as well . "I have some works to do . I will join you in the evening . "
"Okay . " Mu Lan nodded .

Mu Lan and Qi Ying went upstairs to change their dresses . They left the castle soon after grandma Mu Ling came down .
Before the girls left, Mu Feng was hugging his grandma . "Darling, can't I go with you?"
Mu Ling smiled dotingly and said, "It's girls' day out . You can't join unless you want to be something else . "
Mu Feng pretended to be scared . "Ah! Don't say such unhealthy words, darling . Fine . I won't go with you now . But, at night, let's have a candle light dinner . "
Mu Ling rubbed Mu Feng's head and smiled while replying, "Sure . I will wait for you . "
If only Mu Cheng knew what type of conversation was happening between his wife and grandson, he would lose his temper once again .
-----
After Mu Ling, Mu Lan and Qi Ying left, Mu Jin came to meet Mu Liang .
Mu Liang was working in his own study room, when Mu Jin knocked the door . "Are you busy?"
Mu Liang glanced at his father and answered, "If you have something important to tell me, you are welcome . "
Mu Jin came inside and sat on a sofa . He hesitated before asking, "Do you know Lan's parents?"
Mu Liang was calm . He knew that his father was going to bring up this matter sooner or later . He replied, "I never saw them in reality . But I began investigated about her years ago . I found out that her father is unknown and her mother died while she was pregnant when Xiao Lan was only two years old . "
Mu Jin's face ashened . His whole body trembled . "Died? Died! Zh-Zhuan Zhen died?!"
He could hardly believe Mu Liang's words even though he knew that his first born never lied .
"She died while she was pregnant . " Mu Liang repeated his words .
"Pregnant…" Mu Jin's fists became tighter . "Was it a normal death, was it poverty?"
"None of those . Though she was poor, her death can't be considered normal . She was hit by the car . The driver was drunk when he was driving, he didn't see the red light . "
"D-did she die soon after she was hit?" Mu Jin asked further .
Mu Liang finally glanced at his father . "Father, does it matter anymore? She is dead . " His words came out of his mouth mercilessly, making Mu Jin's breath hitched .
"But she was killed!" Mu Jin scarcely raised his voice .
"If you cared about her that much, you should have look after her when she was alive . Caring when she died is just only a low life would do . " Mu Liang's tone wasn't soft .
